Spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) were measured in the ear canal of adult humans prior to, during, and following presentation of tonal and broadband stimuli to the contralateral ear. Tones were presented at a fixed level at ten frequencies relative to the SOAE. Broadband noise was presented at eight levels, from 6 to 76 dB SPL. Shifts in SOAE frequency and amplitude were observed for some subjects, for some tone conditions. Frequency shifts were always positive, whereas amplitude shifts were variable. No apparent pattern of tuning was seen, such that tones with a particular frequency relationship to the SOAEs induced greater changes in the SOAEs. Systematic changes in frequency and amplitude of SOAEs were observed for increasing level of broadband noise for all subjects. Results are discussed with respect to possible mechanism(s) responsible for the alterations in SOAEs: Transcranial conduction; the olivocochlear system; and/or the middle-ear reflex arc.
